Kiara Kasih Condominium: Rent, Facilities & Honest Commute

What is Kiara Kasih Condominium and should you rent there?

Kiara Kasih Condominium suits tenants who want a Mont Kiara-area postcode at a below-market rent and can commute by car or e-hailing rather than rail. It is the wrong fit if you need to walk to a KTM station daily.

SPEEDHOME lists Mont Kiara/Segambut rentals with Zero Deposit on qualifying units, and Kondominium Kiara Kasih is one of the more distinctive addresses in that corridor: a single 39-storey tower with 719 units on Jalan Kiara 3, developed by UEM Sunrise Berhad as its first RUMAWIP (Rumah Wilayah Persekutuan) affordable-housing project. The project launched on 20 March 2018 and completed around October 2022, sitting on a 2.14-acre freehold plot.

Because it was built under the RUMAWIP scheme, Kiara Kasih is priced well below the market-rate condos nearby — Arte Mont Kiara, Kiara Plaza and similar towers typically ask several times more for a comparable layout. Portal listings (PropertyGuru/iProperty, June 2026 snapshot) showed the standardised 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom units asking around RM1,300 to RM2,000 a month. That is a portal-derived band, not a SPEEDHOME figure; always check the live SPEEDHOME listing for the current asking price on the exact unit.

The trade-off is transit. There is no MRT, LRT or KTM station within walking distance. The nearest KTM Komuter stations, Segambut and United Point, are several kilometres away and realistically reached by car, e-hailing or RapidKL bus route 190 — not on foot. If your routine depends on walking to rail, this is not the right building; if you drive or e-hail anyway, the rent gap versus the rest of Mont Kiara is the main reason to shortlist it.

Kiara Kasih Condominium facilities and unit layout

Every unit at Kiara Kasih follows the same standardised layout: roughly 850 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a balcony and a yard, with one car park bay included. Building facilities cover the basics plus a few extras.

UEM Sunrise built the tower to a single RUMAWIP spec, so there's far less layout variation than at a typical condo — floor level, view, furnishing and condition are the main variables. Shared facilities include:

Facility Notes
Swimming pool + wading pool Shared pool deck
Gymnasium + sky fitness station Fitness on a higher floor with a view
Sauna Standard wet facility
Terrace garden + viewing deck Communal outdoor space
BBQ area Bookable for gatherings
Playground Ground-level, family-oriented
Multipurpose hall + reading room Indoor communal space
24-hour security Guardhouse + access control
Car park 1 bay per unit, included

A worked example: a tenant taking a 3-bedroom unit at RM1,600/month (mid-point of the portal band) with a standard 2-month deposit arrangement would set aside roughly RM4,800 up front — deposit, advance rent and utility deposit combined — outside Zero Deposit. On a qualifying SPEEDHOME Zero Deposit listing, that upfront cash outlay is replaced by the managed rental-risk system instead. Confirm which arrangement applies on the specific listing before you commit.

Should you rent at Kiara Kasih Condominium? Who it fits and who should avoid it

Kiara Kasih fits tenants who want a Mont Kiara-area address on a tighter budget and don't need to walk to rail. It doesn't fit tenants whose non-negotiable is daily walk-to-station transit.

  • Good fit — tenants who drive or e-hail daily, want a Mont Kiara/Segambut postcode without market-rate rent, and are fine with a standardised 3-bedroom layout
  • Workable — small families who value the pool and playground over rail access, and already commute by car
  • Avoid — tenants who need to walk to KTM, MRT or LRT daily; anyone comparing purely on "Mont Kiara" branding without checking the RUMAWIP origin and rent gap; anyone expecting a non-standard unit layout

As a RUMAWIP project, some original owners are bound by government eligibility and holding-period conditions on resale. That is a resale-market condition on eligible original owners — it does not change open-market rental eligibility. It is still worth knowing when comparing Kiara Kasih against market-rate Mont Kiara condos, since the affordable-housing origin is part of why the rent band sits lower.

Renting at Kiara Kasih Condominium with Zero Deposit

Selected Kiara Kasih listings on SPEEDHOME offer Zero Deposit — no upfront cash deposit required at move-in. Not every unit qualifies; check the live listing before expecting it.

Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system, not a financial guarantee product. It replaces the upfront cash deposit so tenants move in without tying up cash, while landlords stay protected through rental protection rather than by holding a deposit; for severe end-of-tenancy damage beyond fair wear and tear, the standard protection claims process applies. SPEEDHOME verifies every listing and landlord before it goes live, and has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026 — a useful check for a building where you can't inspect ownership documents yourself.

What to check before signing at Kiara Kasih Condominium

Verify the exact unit, floor and view before committing — with a standardised 850 sq ft layout, most of the difference between units is condition, floor level and furnishing.

  1. Air-conditioning — switch on every unit, confirm it cools, ask for the last service record
  2. Water pressure — test both bathrooms and the kitchen tap together
  3. Furnishing — check every item on the listing against what's physically in the unit
  4. Car park bay — confirm the exact bay number and whether it's covered
  5. Access cards — how many are included, replacement cost, JMB registration steps
  6. Commute test — drive or e-hail to work or school at a normal weekday hour before signing, since there's no walkable rail option
  7. Handover photos — dated photos of every wall, fitting and appliance before signing

Pay rent only to a company account or the named owner on the title, never a third party.

FAQ

Is Kiara Kasih Condominium cheaper than other Mont Kiara condos?

Yes, generally. Built as UEM Sunrise's first RUMAWIP affordable-housing project rather than a market-rate development, portal listings (June 2026) showed 3-bedroom units asking roughly RM1,300 to RM2,000 a month — well under towers like Arte Mont Kiara. Always confirm the current figure on the live SPEEDHOME listing rather than this portal-derived band.

How far is Kiara Kasih Condominium from an MRT or LRT station?

None. The nearest KTM Komuter stations are Segambut and United Point, both several kilometres away, realistically reached by car, e-hailing or RapidKL bus route 190. If daily walk-to-rail transit is a requirement, this building is not a fit.

What size are the units at Kiara Kasih Condominium?

The tower is standardised at roughly 850 sq ft, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a balcony and a yard, plus one car park bay per unit. There is little layout variation between units — floor level, view, condition and furnishing are the main differences to check at viewing.

Does the RUMAWIP status of Kiara Kasih Condominium affect renting it?

No. RUMAWIP eligibility and holding-period conditions apply to resale by original owners, not to rental. Tenants can rent a unit here the same way as any other condominium — just verify the specific unit and listing as usual.

Can I rent at Kiara Kasih Condominium with Zero Deposit?

Selected listings qualify. Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system, not a financial guarantee product — it replaces the upfront cash deposit, but not every unit qualifies. Check the live SPEEDHOME listing, or see the Mont Kiara Rental Guide for the wider area picture.
